Welcome to The Bingley Arms

Located in the beautiful village of Bardsey, The Bingley Arms is no ordinary pub. It’s the original English pub -
officially the oldest in Britain - dating back over 1000 years to a time when Vikings were conquering parts of the
country and before England had its first King.

Set in a tranquil position away from busy roads and near a trickling stream, the magnificent building must be seen close up.
From a fine, original Dutch oven in the lounge to the old priest holes hidden in the chimney, every room is full of history
and magical stories.

The Bingley Arms pub is in easy reach from all the major attractions of Leeds and York such as Harewood House, York Minster
and the National Railway Museum, making it a perfect place to stop for a drink of real ale or to eat rustic, Yorkshire food
in the splendid restaurant.

We pride ourselves on quality food, sourced locally by our chef. The Bingley Arms is a former winner
of the Yorkshire Evening Post Restaurant of the Year Award and has a wide variety of dishes on the menu. A selection of
over 100 fine wines from countries around the world, including Australia, Argentina and France make wonderful accompaniments.
Enjoy a drink at your table or step outside into our spectacular beer garden for a day to remember.
